Event: Message in a Bottle (Day 16, EA, Observatory)

[Dr. Reinhardt]

"Professor Novak do you think that now that we have a second message we could pin down their location better? Would sending another reply help with that?"

[Aloysius Jones]

"If we contact them again, it is best that we not reveal too much about the state of things here." Aly advised. "We don't want to invite any more visitors."

[Colette Rupelle]

Colette shrugged. "Maybe put to good use what I found and perhaps we can split, Monsieur Jones and I do some further exploration on the executive offices and Monsieur Novak and Dr Ren try to triangulate the signal and find out if it is a friend or a foe." Colette tried to give some direction to an approach on the situation.

[Comstar]

Lucretzia nodded, a split effort would be less impactful, but it might yield a few final scraps of information.

Final rolls: Each roll can only be attempted once.

The search of the executive suite.

Four Investigation/perception rolls at TN 20, 25, 30, 35.

---

The attempt to pinpoint the message source.

One Computer(Code)/Intelligence at TN 30
One Navigation(astronav)/Intelligence at TN 25

[Aloysius Jones]

"Miss Rupelle, if you would come with me."

She would find the man moved quickly, but was very thorough. For the most part.

"Professor Novak, if you would like to take lead I will be more then happy to assist" (If allowing normal assist rules I provide +1 to Computers and +3 to Navigation)

[Colette Rupelle]

Colette walked behind Aly without a clue on what they might be looking for getting distracted by the tiny robot that was following her.

[Jan Novak]

Jan nodded, but something about the situation irritated him just enough to deprive him of his usual clarity and spoiled the effort.

EA16. Computters vs. TN30, Edged Navigation vs. TN25. Reinhard Assists!: 8d10o10k4+1 28 6d10o10k5+3 42

"No żesz kurwa. Co za chujnia się to odpierdala." He cursed foully in Polish at the bothched result.

[Comstar]

In the end, Jan managed to confirm which of the constellations the signal had come from, but any further messages weren't seeming to go through - something about the alignment had been botched as the planet continued to rotate and the window of opportunity closed.

They had something, at least... an idea where, roughly, they would have to look if they chose, some day, to attempt to do so.

The pair searching the executive suites didn't turn up much, but Aloysius did pick up on a handful of blueprints for the facility and some corporate instinct told him that, down the line, those might have some value, financially or scientifically, so he gathered the tubes holding them and carefully carried them out.

Anastasia finally stood, and announced, "Ok folks, visiting hours are over - captain has to lift off and get back to his ship, so if you aren't aboard... you aren't coming."

Lucretzia sighed, mournfully, giving the machines one last look, and then followed the staff out.
